The hotel was a normal Holiday Innbut I probably wouldn’t stay there again. Our room had a huge crack in it and a hole in the corner of the crack. There were 3 big bigs in the window that my husband had to kill. Although we requested a new room, the hotel was full and we had to take it or leave it. We stayed but were less than happy
